Agaricus Newbie

Agaricus Newbie (1/5)

  1. Confirming the identification. I went back to the spot to find 6-10 more sprouts around the infected tree so harvested about another 1.5 pounds and made gravy last night. Using the entire frond rather than slicing the ends yielded about 1/3 of the mushrooms in the gravy un-chewable. The flavor is good though. They will lend themselves to jerky very well with the tough texture.
  2. I was looking at Berkeley's but the pore size seems to be so different you would almost certainly be able to differentiate on this basis alone. The staining wasn't super dark, kind of less than I would have expected from "black-staining" in the name so I'm not sure... Both are edible, right? I plan to start dehydrating them tomorrow.
  3. That's a really cool idea. How do you think to make it? Marinate with liquid flavoring and dehydrate? I'll let you know how it turns out.
  4. I was walking my dog in my neighborhood here in north-central NC and came across a large polypore about 5 feet from the base of a small tree, growing in grass. I later went back with my field guide but forgot my camera so photographed it when i got home. Underside is light buff color continuing over edge of cup shaped edges about 5mm before turning to brown in the cup. Pores are small enough that I can't see them with my crappy magnifying glass. Smells very fresh, mushroomy. Bruises light brown as can be seen in photos. Black-staining polypore (Meripulus giganteus) is the closest I could find to it but maybe it's not in my field guide. There were a couple other small specimens growing within several feet but this was the largest. About 2 pounds, 10" across. Let me know what you think. Thanks for your help and thanks for letting me join the community. Meripilus sumstinei? Any thoughts. I want to eat it. Garrett.
